I’m a designer and multimedia artist with my MFA in Interdisciplinary Design from The University of Texas at Austin.
I have my BAH in Art History and Global Development Studies from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
​
My art currently explores the aesthetics of satellite calibration targets—Cold War–era artifcats used to test and deploy surveillance technology—as symbols of the modern data economy. These “scars of the earth” are enigmatic of the tension between the synthetic precision of human industry and the organic state of the natural landscapes they disrupt.
The work investigates how certain technologies born from warfare and conflict now fuel consumerism and redefine our relationship with the planet.
